Chapter 1834: Father and Daughter Reunited

Jocelyn also told him, "Janelle is in a relationship. She has a particularly outstanding boyfriend named Trevor, who is the CEO of The Dalton Group."

Upon hearing this news, the old father’s initially excited heart sank, inevitably feeling a bit of disappointment.

His daughter has grown up... She’s not a little girl anymore, she’s started dating... The old father felt a sense of being in a different era.

But after thinking carefully, he calculated that his daughter was indeed at the age appropriate for marriage.

She has indeed grown up.

Indeed, she is no longer a little girl.

Seeing the old King’s heavy-hearted appearance, Jocelyn Morgan didn’t know how to comfort him, nor did she quite understand why his emotions had suddenly turned low.

After a while, the old King sighed softly and couldn’t help but smile, "It’s my confusion, I thought she was still that little girl..."

How many years have passed?

For having missed out on her growing up, Bertie felt a deep sense of guilt.

"What did you just say her boyfriend’s name was?" Taking advantage of the fact that his daughter hadn’t come over yet, he wanted to learn more.

"His name is Trevor," Jocelyn answered, "He is Mrs. Kingston’s older brother, an exceptionally good man."

CEO Kingston’s brother-in-law?

This kind of identity brought a glimmer of light back into Bertie’s eyes; surely he was a quality man, and entrusting his daughter to him could bring some peace of mind.

Soon, Ian Shelby’s car entered the yard and came to a steady stop.

Bertie and Jocelyn stood up and stepped outside, both feeling a bit emotional. Especially Bertie, who could hardly remember the surrounding scenery, his gaze fixed on the car as he quickened his pace.

As Ian Shelby got out of the car, Nathan Mills also exited.

Shortly after, Janelle and Carlotta Sterling also got out of the car, closed the doors, and the four of them began to step forward.

As they walked, Janelle Mills suddenly stopped in her tracks. She faced Bertie’s tear-filled, emotionally laden gaze, and her heartbeat noticeably skipped a beat.

Is it him?

The people around her also halted their steps.

Bertie’s gaze met with Janelle’s... it really was her!

He felt a surge of joy, slowed his pace, then stopped about two meters away, as if time stood still.

Bertie was mentally prepared when he heard the name Janelle; a strong premonition had told him that fate had arranged for him to meet his daughter!

What a miraculous fate this is! To meet twice in such a short time!

For Janelle Mills at this moment, it was more of a shock.

Her father turned out to be... that uncle...

Scenes from their two meetings flashed alternately in her mind; this kind-hearted uncle, his eyes, his smile...

So, he came for Jocelyn?

Unable to suppress the longing for his daughter any longer, Bertie stepped forward, "Annie!" Almost instinctively, he drew the girl into his embrace!

"My Annie..." Holding her tightly, tears were already welling up, streaming down a line, "My Annie, I finally met you."

Janelle Mills slowly regained her composure, gently raised her hands, and wrapped them around her father’s waist. She embraced her father within her arms...

This scene left everyone in the courtyard deeply moved.

"Dad..." Janelle Mills’s nose tingled slightly as she smiled and gently patted Bertie on the back, "Your daughter has returned, has returned."

At that moment, Bertie was too overcome with emotion to say anything. He held his daughter and cried, throat choked with joy, excitement, and also regret and guilt.

This hug lasted for a full five minutes, with no interruptions, as no one wanted to disturb the emotional release of this long-separated father and daughter. They simply provided silent companionship.

Old Mills hugged Carlotta Sterling’s shoulder, offering her silent comfort.

Until they parted of their own accord, both were already tear-stained.

"I’m sorry, Annie..."

"Dad, don’t say words of apology!" Janelle Mills suddenly interrupted him, speaking through tears, "Heaven has allowed us to meet again. We are destined to be a family in this life, and the days to come will be complete, so no one should feel guilty."
